"Why?" A cold voice came. It was not Liu Zhe who said this, but Charlotte.
Rex shook his head and said angrily: "Nonsense, because it's very dangerous! You're only level 9, and the ridge dragon will slap you to death with one claw. Anyway, no matter what you say today, I just won't allow you to go."
Hearing Rex's tough tone, Charlotte unexpectedly did not refute, just nodded obediently, and looked at her expression, and seemed a little happy?
Seeing the two of them, Melissa teased, "You care about Charlotte, but have you said less of one person? Am I not level 9?"
Rex's face turned red and he changed his mouth, "Of course, you and Ice Girl can't come with you."
Seeing Rex's reaction, Melissa chuckled, and turned to Charlotte on the side and said, "Charlotte in our family seems to be very happy?"
Charlotte blushed in surprise and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense."
As he said that, Charlotte couldn't help but look at Rex, and saw that as soon as Rex touched Charlotte's gaze, he seemed to be electrocuted, and his eyes immediately turned away.
In the small movements of the two of them as lovers, for a moment, the scene was filled with a strong ambiguous atmosphere.
At this time, Liu Zhe suddenly said, "Cough... I'm sorry, I'll disturb you a little bit of sweet time. We haven't finished talking about it yet."
As soon as he heard what Liu Zhe said, Rex's body was shocked and he immediately refuted. However, before Rex could speak, Liu Zhe continued: "Actually, even if Rex didn't say it, I don't plan to let Melissa and Charlotte join the battle together."
Although Liu Zhe is confident that he can protect Melissa and Charlotte, with the strength of two level nine magicians, even if they participate in the battle together, they actually have little effect. After all, as he said before, level nine magic can hardly hurt the ridge dragon. For the sake of consumption, Liu Zhe has epic magic, and it is not lacking in the help of Melissa and Charlotte. Not only that, with more Melissa and Charlotte, this will also increase Feng Lei's consumption when teleporting.
After many considerations, Liu Zhe believes that keeping them is the best way to do it.
When Melissa heard what Liu Zhe said, she bulged her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, you look down on others!"
Liu Zhe explained tactfully: "No such thing, I am just worried about your safety. I have fought with the Ridge Dragon before and know its horror. Rex is right. It is too dangerous to let you two fight. I don't want you to be in danger."
"It's really that way?" After hearing Liu Zhe's explanation, Melissa immediately bent her eyebrows and returned to her smile, saying, "Brother, you are so nice, hehe, that's why my sister likes you so much."
In fact, Melissa knew very well that even if she and Charlotte participated in the battle together, they would not help much, and they might even drag down Liu Zhe and others. However, even though she understood in her heart, she was still a little angry. The main thing was that she was angry that she was not strong enough.
At this time, Liu Zhe had already explained, so Melissa would naturally not continue to make noise, otherwise she would become an annoying and unreasonable woman.
"Haha..." Feeling a cold feeling behind her, Liu Zhe couldn't help but shivered. Faced with Melissa's intimate words, Liu Zhe could only smile with an awkward smile.
"Flirt with flowers and plants." Feng Lei snorted lightly.
When he heard this, Liu Zhe scratched his head awkwardly, then he quietly came to Feng Lei's ear. At the volume that only she could hear, he whispered: "Don't think about it, I only like you."
When Feng Lei heard the sudden sweet whisper, she was caught off guard. She looked rosy, but she said angrily: "Who knows, it's no point in saying it, I have to observe it again."
Seeing the little action between Liu Zhe and Feng Lei, Melissa couldn't help but show a bitter smile, but this bitter smile lasted for a while. After that, Melissa quickly returned to her usual appearance and quipped: "Okay, okay, sister knows you love, but should we continue the topic first?"
As soon as Melissa spoke, Liu Zhe smiled awkwardly, then returned to the topic, saying, "According to my opinion, this action is enough for me, Feng Lei, Rex, and others. As for Melissa and Charlotte, you should stay away first and try not to get close to the battlefield."
"Yeah." When everyone heard this, they nodded without objecting.
Rex said, "Where is the location of that ridge dragon? Should we set out now?"
"I don't agree with setting out now. It's getting late. It's too dangerous to walk in the jungle at night. More importantly, everyone's magic is consumed. I think we should rest first. Even before dawn, we must at least restore the magic first." Melissa retorted immediately.
"The magic power in my body is still very abundant." Rex whispered.
Seeing Rex's energy seemingly exhausted, Liu Zhe smiled bitterly
, and said at the same time, "I think Melissa is right. When she fought with the Ridge Dragon just now, Feng Lei and I have a lot of money to consume. I hope she can take a break first."
"Okay, brother, you said that, so you can rest assured. Anyway, I'm not tired yet, so I'll keep you from guarding you around you." Rex said, showing a thrilling look.
Liu Zhe really needs a rest at the moment, so he did not reject Rex's proposal, but simply said, "Please, I'll change hands with you later."
Rex urged, "Don't worry about me, you and Fenglei should go to rest quickly. Just leave the alert work alone. You can also take a break from Ice Girl and Melissa."
After hearing Rex's advice, everyone nodded and did not compete for this job with Rex. In the wilderness full of crisis, they really had to seize the time to rest.
Understanding the value of rest time, Liu Zhe and the other two did not waste any time. At this time, they quickly entered a state of meditation, leaving only Rex to be responsible for the alert.
※※※※※※※※※
Leaving from the meditation state, when Liu Zhe opened his eyes again, the sky around him was already pitch black.
After a long period of meditation, the magic power in Liu Zhe's body had returned to its peak state.
"I wonder how long my meditation lasts?" Liu Zhe murmured. In his meditation state, he was not sure how long it had passed. However, this battle with the Ridge Dragon caused a lot of consumption. Now that it will completely restore the magic power, it may take a lot of time.
As soon as Liu Zhe opened his eyes, Feng Lei, who was not far from him, immediately noticed it and asked subconsciously: "Are you awake? Have you completely recovered from the morning consumption?"
"Yeah." Liu Zhe responded, twisted his neck and inspected the surroundings.
Liu Zhe looked around and saw that Rex was meditating at this time, and Feng Lei, Melissa, and Charlotte all woke up from meditation. In this way, he seemed to be the last person to wake up.
After quickly grasping the current situation, Liu Zhe did not stand up immediately, but continued to sit cross-legged on the ground and said to Feng Lei beside him: "Sorry, please be warned for a while."
Seeing that Liu Zhe had recovered but was not going to get up, Feng Lei couldn't help but wonder, "What are you going to do?"
When Liu Zhe heard Feng Lei’s question, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He would fight the ridge dragon again later. At this time, Liu Zhe was naturally preparing to enter the redemption system and tried to find a way to deal with the ridge dragon. At this time, when Feng Lei’s question was asked, Liu Zhe could not tell her the truth.
After thinking for a while, Liu Zhe found a reason casually and said, "I want to sort out my thoughts a little, it shouldn't take too long."
It was obvious that what Liu Zhe was saying was not the truth. At this time, Feng Lei looked at Liu Zhe meaningfully, but she did not continue to ask in depth, but glared at her beautiful eyes and said, "You are really gentlemanly, you actually let a group of girls be responsible for the night watch... hurry up."
Seeing that Feng Lei did not continue to ask questions, Liu Zhe felt relieved and couldn't help but be grateful for Feng Lei's understanding.
The eyes met Liu Zhe's grateful eyes. Feng Lei glanced at her head and said angrily: "What kind of eyes are you... Don't get me wrong, I haven't thought about you."
"Ha..." Seeing Feng Lei's unfaithful appearance, Liu Zhe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. At this moment, Liu Zhe did not continue to say more, but listened to Feng Lei's words, closed his eyes, and quickly sank his mind into the exchange system.
When Feng Lei heard Liu Zhe's ambiguous chuckling, she turned red. When she was about to correct Liu Zhe's thoughts, she saw that Liu Zhe had closed her eyes and her body was still motionless, as if she had entered a meditation state.
"Cunning guy!" Feng Lei angrily, and kicked a small stone with a toe.
Not long after, I saw the sweet atmosphere between Liu Zhe and Feng Lei. In the dark night, Melissa's expression showed a hint of imperceptible loss.
He noticed the change of childhood sweethearts. Charlotte's tone was still cold, but there was obvious concern in his tone, and hesitated: "Melissa, you..."
"Don't think about it, I'm nothing. My younger brother is just my younger brother, I'm just his sister, I have no other thoughts." Melissa showed a bitter smile. She understood that her childhood sweetheart had already seen her thoughts, but even so, she still refused to express it straightforwardly... Otherwise, she might have cried.
Staring at Melissa for a while, Charlotte finally didn't say anything more, but just said lightly: "...is it?"
In the dark night, under the bright moonlight, Melissa smiled faintly and showed a lonely smile.
